Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
I think when trying to find a command name wildcards should be supported as most users probably don't know the exact command name they want. I know this would place a large list on the API but maybe the psgallery source could be cached and updated somehow?
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Make a cache of the psgallery as a whole and add a parameter to update it. That way you could reduce API load and still wildcats search command names.

Research direction
Start at the Find-PSResource -CommandName entry point and trace how command names are searched against the PSGallery source. Define the wildcard matching behavior and how a PSGallery cache and update parameter would reduce API load. Done means wildcard searches work with a clear cache refresh path without requiring an exact command name.
